L'adminstration française face à l'Europe : l'exemple de la coopération policière et judiciaire - Paris : IIAP, oct./déc. 1999
The third pillar of the Treaty on European Union is dedicated to co-operation in justice and home affairs. Before the Treaty of Amsterdam, the decision-making process within this third pillar remained at intergovernmental level. In negotiations preeminence was givern to representatives of the ministries of justice and home affairs to the detriment of those departments concerned with social affairs. The Foreign Office has been called upon to play an increasing role but the balance of its achievements is mitigated. In order to limit the number of conflicts arising between the different ministries, the role of the SGCI, an inter-ministerial body charged with administrative co-ordination of Community policies, has been reinforced
